Asphalt producers seeking a solution to enhance plant efficiency through integrated production, loadout, and ticketing automation
About Libra
Libra is a comprehensive solution designed to streamline asphalt plant operations by connecting production, loadout, and ticketing into a seamless and automated workflow. Its flexible plant controls cater to both batch and drum mix automation, allowing customization to fit specific processes. Highly configurable modules maximize plant throughput, enabling quicker truck loading and dispatch. Add-ons such as self-serve kiosks, remote printers, camera ID technology, and silo loadout systems enhance automation, keeping drivers in their cabs and trucks moving efficiently through the plant. Implementing Libra can lead to significant improvements, including a 35% reduction in time spent in the plant, over a 25% increase in loadout efficiency, and a 30% decrease in drum plant calibration time. Digitize all your tickets for any inbound load at the plant, on the job site, and in the office.

Silo Safety
The Silo Safety System ensures the safety of drivers and vehicles and eliminates loss of material in any type of overhead load scenario. Keep drivers and vehicles safe, eliminate costly loss of materials, and reduce plant downtime with the Silo Safety System. The system uses sets of infrared sensors appropriately placed under a silo to indicate when a vehicle is under the silo—a "broken" beam between a single set of sensors indicates a vehicle. Infrared sensors enable each silo, if and only if, the truck is in the proper position. A fully graphic touchscreen display indicates sensor and silo gate activation to the operator. Manual override mode with redundant loadout system interlock is available for scenarios not meeting standard vehicle and loadout situations. Advanced scale ticketing software and automation technologies. Digitize all your tickets for any inbound load at the plant, on the job site, and in the office.
